We have seen in the past, as in Belarus, that dictators are very sensitive to satire and ridicule. They are very aware that a public that is laughing at them is unlikely to fear them. We shall monitor the situation in Egypt and keep you up to date.

HORROR IN THE MALDIVESIt's hard to believe, but a 15-year-old rape survivor has been sentenced to be whipped 100 times in public!Let's put an end to this lunacy by hitting the Maldives government where it hurts: the tourism industry.The girl's stepfather is accused of raping her for years and murdering the baby she bore.
Now the court says she must be flogged for “sex outside marriage” with a
man who has not even been named! President Waheed of the Maldives is
already feeling global pressure on this, and we can force him to save
this girl and change the law to spare other victims this cruel fate. This is how we can end the War on Women – by standing up every time an outrage like this happens.

A woman died during a police raid in Indian-held Kashmir. Please act on the appeal and send in your letters of protest. This sort of brutal police action cannot be tolerated.
